Ibexx, Brain, and Sonki, Just read the article in Washington Post washingtonpost.com .............................................. Although the Justice Department could tackle Windows 98 under the case it filed against Microsoft over the consent decree, it is more likely that the new case would be brought under the Sherman Act, lawyers familiar with the investigation said. Some in the department favor such a case because it could cover Microsoft's activities relating to Windows NT and CE . But such an approach could be tricky, some legal experts say, because the government would have to prove that Microsoft has a monopoly with Windows in the personal computer market, a point company executives have repeatedly refused to concede. .............................................. I can live with that DOJ's investigation on Windows95 and Windows98, but I cannot agree that Windows NT and Windows CE should be investigated at this moment. Windows NT and Windows CE do not have dominant market power yet. How can Sherman Act be applied to them?
